The implementation of this federation will strengthen the role of the associations of friends of the Portuguese Camino in Galicia as well as in the neighbouring country when it comes to working in favour of the traditional values of pilgrimages and their preservation and dissemination.

This agreement takes place in the same year that the Ministry of Culture and Tourism has dedicated the main actions of the Master Plan of the Camino de Santiago to the Portuguese Camino and the Portuguese Coastal Camino, with signposting and improvement or activities of cultural dynamisation and promotion, among others. In this sense, Galicia and Portugal are working together on the European project Fazer Caminho, which aims to maximise synergies surrounding the pilgrimage route in this region. The Portuguese Camino, with more than 62,000 pilgrims, is becoming the second most travelled route with a growth of 14.5%. In turn, the Portuguese Coastal Camino has received more than 12,000 pilgrims so far this year, which is an 88% increase.

The Way of St James in 3D is a 3-dimensional photography show featuring spectacular large pieces produced using a stereographic technique. The exhibition presents images of the pilgrimage routes, heritage sites, landscapes and pilgrims on the English Route, Fisterra–Muxía Route, Portuguese Route and Portuguese Coastal Route.

The title of the show is a reference to the sea of the Atlantic routes which open the exhibition, the sea of the Portuguese and Galician coasts that is so strongly linked to the Portuguese pilgrimage routes to Santiago. And it ends with the open ocean along the Costa da Morte, the physical and symbolic finishing point of the route to Fisterra and Muxía, after reaching Compostela.

Os Caminhos de Santiago na Galiza (Condeixa-a-Nova) https://blog.caminodesantiago.gal/en/exposicion-via-iacobitana-os-caminhos-de-santiago-na-galiza-condeixa-a-nova-3/ https://blog.caminodesantiago.gal/en/exposicion-via-iacobitana-os-caminhos-de-santiago-na-galiza-condeixa-a-nova-3/#respond Thu, 26 Apr 2018 12:15:41 +0000 http://blog.caminodesantiago.gal/?p=8252 Read more]]> The Via Iacobitana Exhibition is a new expression of contemporary creativity linked to the Jacobean culture. Several Galician photographers became temporary pilgrims and travelled the Ways of Santiago, and with their particular way of seeing things, display the personal sensations which the route chosen suggested to them. The vision of the surrounding countryside, always changing depending on season, variable depending on the atmospheric conditions and the light, added to the experience of the pilgrimage itself and the cultural legacy it has stored up, with a presence in each of the ways, their rich historical heritage and the pilgrims who each year travel the Way of Saint James which leads us to Compostela.

In their images each one of these artists brings together a world which passes and also remains, living ways, filled with evocations and proposals. Pilgrimage routes to Santiago within the reach of all who become pilgrims and who wish to feel in their flesh a thousand year experience which binds them to a unique, sacred geography, to a universal, open itinerary, cradle of western culture and the refined expression of a civilisation advancing.

Once again, the images proposed by Via Iacobitana display the multiform essence of the Camino de Santiago, the generous and open meaning of the Jacobean pilgrimage, its inexhaustible and magnetic power of seduction. The artistic sensitivity and professionalism of the photographers who participate in the exhibition, captivated by the power and the values of a unique experience, forge a new iconographic legacy which transcends the ephemeral instant in which each photograph is made, in order to form part of a durable group, or Jacobean legacy, a treasure in a permanent state of recreation and renovation.
